How to Use Chrome’s Hidden “Send Tab to Self” Feature

Configurare noua (How To)

Situatie

A new “Send Tab to Self” feature in Google Chrome lets you quickly send tabs between all your Chrome devices. This feature, available via a hidden flag in Google Chrome, is available in the stable version of Chrome today.

Sure, you can access open tabs on other devices via the History page without any hidden flags if you use Chrome Sync—but this new feature is slicker and faster.

Once you’ve enabled it, you’ll find a new “Send to Your Devices” option when you right-click on a web page. It’ll list all the Chrome browsers you’re signed into with your Google account—on Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and even iPhone and iPad. Select a device to send a Chrome tab to that device.

How to Enable “Send Tab to Self”

This option is available as a flag. To find it, plug chrome://flags into Chrome’s address bar and press Enter. Search for “Send tab” in the search box.

Finding the Send Tab to Self flag in Google Chrome

You’ll see several different options. You must at least enable the “Send tab to self” and “Send tab to self show sending UI” options—click the boxes to the right of each and select “Enabled.”

You may also want to enable “Send tab to self history” to see sent tabs in your History page and “Send tab to self broadcast,” which lets you broadcast a tab to all devices instead of sending it to an individual one. (The broadcast flag didn’t appear to work when we tested it.)

Finally, if you want to use this feature without enabling Chrome Sync, enable the “Send tab to self: enable use when signed in regardless of sync state” option.

Enabling the Send tab to self flags in Google Chrome

When you’re done, click “Relaunch Now” to restart your Chrome browser with your flags enabled.

Repeat this process on all the Chrome browsers you use on different devices. If you only enable Send tab to self on a single device, you can’t send tabs to any other devices. Note that Chrome for iPhone and iPad doesn’t have flags, but it can still receive sent tabs.
